Edmonton has enacted a new zoning policy that requires 25m between window facing residential units so as to protect privacy.

Hopefully when all of the construction on Bay street is complete it will get a makeover like Bloor did. The sidewalk are pretty mangled up right now from all the heavy vehicles that have been going over them. There is no reason with the growing tax base in the core why some of that money can't be reinvested into street beautification. Although with our mayor spending any money in the core would go against every bone in his suburban body.
I feel like if Burano was being built in other Canadian city it would be getting a lot more attention. Right now it seems like it's being overshadowed by the numerous other Toronto projects and proposals. I think it's a very underappreciated building.
